So I recently watched Fist Fight and I'm here to bring you my review. So without further ado.......
On the last day before summer vacation, high school teacher Andy Campbell (played by Charlie Day) tries his best to keep it together amid senior pranks, a dysfunctional administration and budget cuts that threaten his job. Things go from bad to worse when he crosses Ron Strickland (played by Ice Cube), the school's toughest and most feared teacher. When Strickland gets fired, he challenges Campbell to a fight after school. As news of the showdown spreads like wildfire, poor Andy desperately seeks any way out of his date with certain doom.
This might be the least funniest comedy film ever made. On paper the film has a very simple and predictable premise that should have some success, but overall not be a great film and that's exactly what this film is. Charlie Day and Ice Cube are great comedic actors and putting them in a film together is a great idea and it shows in the film as when they are onscreen together, they have amazing chemistry and every joke between them hits like it is supposed to. Other than that, the rest of the film as a whole is just terrible. Nothing else in the film seems to flow well and when Ice Cube and Charlie Day aren't on screen together and are off doing their own separate thing, nothing they do is funny which is mainly due to the rest of cast not being funny at all. In surprising fashion Tracy Morgan had so many awkward moments that it made it very painful to watch him every time he came across the screen. The same can be said for Jillian Bell who has been in some really funny movies as of late and she's done well in them, but this isn't one of her finer performances. Overall this film isn't funny outside of when the two leads are on screen together and the film suffers from a very boring, unoriginal and predictable plot. I give Fist Fight a 2.5 out of 10.
So ladies and gentlemen what did you think of Fist Fight, what would you rate it and what did you think of my review? Let me know in the comments section below and let your voice be heard.
